Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to Summer 1
Year 6 the half term has arrived where you will be sitting your KS2 SATS and you are definitely ready to show all that you have learnt - we know you will do brilliantly. SATS week beginnings on Monday 11th May. At the end of half term, once we have finished our SATS we will start to be thinking about our Enterprise Day, which will be at the beginning of Summer 2.
PE will continue to be on Wednesday afternoons, so please make sure your PE kit is in school and that it is the correct uniform.
Our class text this half term is a the novel The boy who made everyone laugh by Helen Rutter — we hope it makes you laugh as well as help prepare you for high school. I’m sure it will really inspire your writing!
Please continue working towards your silver dojo and remember to complete your homework each week, as it will really help you prepare for your SATs. Homework should be handed in every Wednesday.
Take care,
Mrs Hudson-Dodds & Mrs Hardie
